help!

Comments: Can anyone help me? My grandfather was in the 224th, 40th infantry RCT and he has a drawing of a military patch with a scull and cross bones and the words HV MORTAR inside a turqouise bullet across it. It is inside of a white shield with a blue and white chevron in the top left corner. The ribbon across the bottom says "224th INF RCT". I want to have it recreated into a large patch for him to put on a jacket with all of his old patches. I have been looking online for it but it doesn't seem to exist. All I can find is the blue diamond with the yellow star in it. Does anyone know where I can find it if it does exist? I want to give it to him for fathers day! Thank you!

Blair passed away on January 12, 2004 due to liver disease and complications from a fall in December. He has been interred at Mount Auburn Cemetery, Watertown, MA. He spent my life telling me war stories and I am the proud owner of a collection of letters home to his mother from his time in Korea. He was very proud of his service and the men he served with.

If anyone has any memories of him, our family would love to hear them. He left behind 4 children and 9 grandchildren who loved him dearly. Thank you.

Comments: I remember Edward Reick. He was a slim good looking, very nice and quiet young boy, who had joined the 224th Med Co. as a replacement in Korea. Unfortunately, he was assigned as a medic to a patrol on the very last day before we went into reserve. As I remember what was told to me at that time, a Platoon Leader (Lt.) was wounded and was in a bomb crater, so Reick went to his aid. Then a mortor round came down directly on top of them and both were killed with no remains. As I understood it, they were listed as Missing in Action because we were not able to find any remains. I was a Sgt. assigned as a medic in charge of the Ward Tent of the Collecting (Regimental) Aid Station and our aid station would normally receive all persons who were killed in the regiment, but I do not remember Reick's body coming through.

For all of us, we looked at him as a hero, who was doing his utmost to perform his duty as a medic, at the time of his untimely death. We all miss him.
